ENERGY CONSERVATION Utilize high-performance building materials - TopicsExpress



          

ENERGY CONSERVATION Utilize high-performance building materials that reduce energy loss caused by transmission of extreme temperatures (walls, windows, skylights, roof/ceilings). Set aside space for renewable energy sources to reduce reliance on the use of fossil fuels (wind, solar, hydro-electric, geothermal). Select Energy Star homes, equipment and appliances. Pay attention to duct sealing details and avoid costly wastage. Always use approved water heater insulation blankets and heat traps. Insulate your hot water lines. Install high-efficiency heating and cooling equipment. Use energy efficient luminaries (compact fluorescent & LED). Make use of natural ventilation in structures when possible. Install ceiling fans - an economic alternative to air conditioners that can reduce your costs by 40% in summer. During winter they also effectively circulate warm air and can lead to savings up to 10% on heating bills.
